vallen_religion.jpg, image/jpeg, 301x181 ART EXHIBIT: DON?T TALK ABOUT RELIGION OR POLITICS

Artists explore the sacred and profane

When: Saturday, January 7, 2006. 7-10 pm

Where: Avenue 50 Studio, 131 No. Avenue 50, Los Angeles, CA. 90042

Duration: January 7 through February 6, 2006

Someone famous once said "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions." Those words certainly ring true in our own time, as countless individuals turn towards spiritualism for answers to life?s great mysteries - their faith sheltering them from a pitilessly indifferent world. Yet at the same time societies everywhere are also being fractured by religious zealotry, bigotry and persecution - with religion itself seemingly a driving force behind war. The exhibition, Don?t Talk About Religion or Politics, attempts a meaningful exploration of these contradictions and their political ramifications.

Don?t Talk About Religion or Politics is also an age-old American axiom, an adage the participating artists of this exhibit clearly intend to ignore as they carefully examine the blurring between the sacred and profane. To celebrate the importance of spirituality in our lives and collective consciousness, the participating artists of this exhibition have come together to offer genuine visions of piety and devotion. But they are also unafraid to offer honest critiques of religion?s darker side. It is to this duality of purpose that we dedicate the exhibition, Don?t Talk About Religion or Politics.





Artist's Forum on Art & Politics

Thursday, January 12th., 7 to 9 pm

As part of the exhibition, Avenue 50 Studio will present an artist's forum where exhibiting artists and the public can discuss the meanings and motivations behind the works on display. Artist Gwyneth Leech will be flying to L.A. from her east cost home to participate in this exciting event, which also includes a slide presentation of artworks by participating artists.
